If you’ve ever done any pillow shopping online you might have noticed there are a lot of different models to choose from, so you might be wondering how to pick the perfect pillow.   

With such a wide range to pick from, choosing the right pillow can be a hard task, but worry not! We have created the complete pillow guide to help you find the ideal pillow for a good night’s sleep. Read on to find out how to choose a pillow that offers the right level of support for your sleeping position!

How Do You Choose the Right Pillow for Your Sleeping Position? 

So how do you choose the right pillow? Apart from offering a soft and cosy place for your head to rest, a pillow has the important job of supporting your normal sleeping position. The right pillow for you should promote the neutral alignment of your spine, neck and head and support the natural curve of your spine. This can not only relieve pressure in your body but also help with neck and shoulder pain. 

Different sleeping positions require different levels of support, which is why you should always choose a pillow that’s suitable for the way you usually sleep. Here’s what to look for when selecting a pillow to suit your sleeping position: 

How to Pick the Perfect Pillow for Back Sleepers? 

Back sleepers benefit from a pillow with medium support and medium depth in order to maintain a healthy spinal alignment. When it comes to the filling of the pillow, back sleepers might find that materials which adapt to pressure such as memory foam are the most comfortable for their sleeping position.

How to Pick the Perfect Pillow for Side Sleepers? 

Because their neck is elevated in relation to their body, side sleepers need a pillow that is thicker and offers a firmer level of support. Side sleepers often opt for shapeable materials such as down, down alternatives or natural latex as they offer better comfort.

How to Pick the Perfect Pillow for Stomach Sleepers? 

People who sleep on their stomach might find that selecting the right pillow is a particularly tricky job. Many experts suggest avoiding sleeping on your stomach as it is often linked with neck and back pain. To manage the risk of spinal misalignment and neck pain when sleeping on your front it’s best to go for a soft, shallow pillow. Since stomach sleepers normally like to put their arm under their pillow, a cosy, compressible filling like feathers or down is the best option.
